Windows security popup appears behind the main application window

I am using Windows 10 APIs "Passport" & "Window Hello" in my WPF application.

bool keyCredentialAvailable = await KeyCredentialManager.IsSupportedAsync();
if (keyCredentialAvailable)
{
      KeyCredentialRetrievalResult keyCreationResult = await KeyCredentialManager.RequestCreateAsync("Hi", KeyCredentialCreationOption.ReplaceExisting);

}

RequestCreateAsync method opens the popup which asks for biometric or pin. Which is visible in the screenshot at the back of MainWindow.

I don't have any reference for this Popup that I can bring it in front. Also, I am calling this method on my MainWindow's Loaded method so that it can be confirmed that Main window is loaded fully.

Issue with Popup positioning Issue Right now

First, check whether your function is async. 

private async void SignInPassport()
{
 bool keyCredentialAvailable = await KeyCredentialManager.IsSupportedAsync();
 if (keyCredentialAvailable)
 {
  KeyCredentialRetrievalResult keyCreationResult = await KeyCredentialManager.RequestCreateAsync("Hi",KeyCredentialCreationOption.ReplaceExisting);
  }
}

if this does not solve your issue try this microsoft-passport-login

I filed a Github issue with Microsoft's C++/WinRT project, which I use to access the same API, and face the problem.

No solution, but "This usually happens when the parent window isn't set correctly." I have no idea how to set the parent window correctly in this case, as the API does not expose any handles on the popup.
